    Worth buying P3 now?

    My only advice would be buy the advanced, not the standard. There is significant hardware advantages over the advanced model than the standard.

    DJI Phantom 4 Pro & 2 huge military planes close fly by

    Come on guys he was no where near those aircraft. Might appear close but that only due to the size of those aircraft. Yes they were low-ish but I don't they they were "hot dogging".

    First flight - RIP

    By contact you mean sell on eBay right? LOL I mean putting your details on it certainly helps if someone honest finds it but these things are expensive now. I'd be keeping an eye out on eBay and local for sale ads for a slightly damaged drone :)

    How to get higher altitudes than 500m?

    Fly Galway up the mountain. Land. Reset. Take off and the barometer might be reset? Or does the barometer only reset on power down/up?

    Do not be in a Hurry to buy the Mavic

    The thread is not pointless but your comment certainly is.

    Do not be in a Hurry to buy the Mavic

    all depends on the use. There is no such thing as a "drone for personal use". There is camera platform drones at various levels, racing drones, payload drones etc etc

    Do not be in a Hurry to buy the Mavic

    Who says DJI are the benchmark? No they certainly are not. They are good but not "the benchmark". What he is getting at is apples and oranges. The two can't compare although they are both fruit. The Phantom series was built to be a photography platform that's very easy to fly and had some...

    Litchi almost made my P3 crash!!!! (Waypoints is dangerous!)

    You set a phantom on a way point mission over a heavily populated area and then.... Went inside and didn't watch what was going on !!!! Your lucky you didn't injury a person, child or damage someone's property !! I swear DJI need to put out some kind of mandatory safety training module before...

    First run in with neighbor.....and the law

    I'm sorry but at the end of the day I actually think you did the wrong thing by flying over or near "anyone's" house. Had your drone/quad/UAV lost power then you have a heavy object at speed hurtling towards person and property? If you put the recording issue aside, what would have happened if...

    Phantom 4 batteries all air ?

    If your LiPo is "puffing up" that means it's no longer valid for high draw use such as a quad (drone). In fact a LiPo that is experiencing puffing should be immediately put in the bin. Sometimes I keep 1 or 2 puffy ones to use for things like small LCD screen, but in terms of proper safety any...

    P3P wet, in 3 feet of water for 12 hours

    A sealable container (large tuppaware) with a layer of rice in the bottom. Put the Phantom in and seal the lid. Let it sit in that for a few days to finish off your drying process. This has worked for laptops in the past that were submerged in water. As long as it has not been powered on since...

    [SOLVED] P3 Pro Android Kitkat 4.4 not connecting to app DJI GO

    Ok so I took off the upgraded HDMI board and put my old standard one on and bang working. I've seen so many people with failed upgraded HDMI boards now !! Including me !!
